This is a fair assessment. We need the Navy to start off by not shooting down Navy planes.

You think Russia is pissed over "NATO expansion" now? Just wait and see how many nuclear threats they make if the US suddenly had bases in Greenland, lol.

The United States has one military base in Greenland, Pituffik Space Base

Don't we still have bases in Iceland? My first husband's Dad was AF and stationed there in the 60s.

Depending on which article you read, there is Keflavik Naval Air Station or Keflavik Air Base. I am pretty sure we turned Keflavik NAS over to Iceland for ownership, but the US Navy still "operates" the base.

I see no point in spending money. They should just give it to us.

Thule Greenland. My dad was stationed there for a year.
